stubborn love

"Chef" does not focus on any cooking skills, but conveys the concept of success only by loving peers in the fragmented plot. This is in an era where McDonald's, KFC, etc. advertise standardized processes, which somewhat reveals the stubbornness and persistence of French cuisine. Watching them cook in the kitchen, it feels more like they are creating, just like painters and musicians. The most important meal at the climax even abandons all the attention to food, such as precious raw materials, fresh fruits and vegetables and other golden rules, just need to buy some vegetables and a heart full of love at the grocery store on the street corner. All right. So what molecular food and what techniques are all floating clouds. From another aspect, it interprets the romance of France again, not about love, not about fame, but only about the heartbeat of bosom friends.

Some people say that food and life are the art of compromise. A dish needs a balance between a variety of ingredients and seasonings, and a person’s character must also be sharpened in order to gain a foothold in society. However, what "Chef" declares is uncompromising persistence. The dialogue between the unemployed young chef Jack and the three-Michelin star chef Alexander will, in a sense, be a debate on whether to compromise with the times. In essence, Jack and Alexander both have a paranoia that cannot be communicated, but the hustle and bustle of the times can hardly tolerate this stubbornness. So, Alexander was forced to compromise, and the result of the compromise was to lose himself and forget his original intention. And Jack's persistence not only moved the food industry. The girlfriend who ran away from home, as well as the girlfriend's parents, were impressed by his unremitting efforts and love for food in the small details of cooking.

It is true that such a stubborn person is particularly impersonal and rigid, and must not be liked. For example, Jobs in real life, this man once analyzed and studied a washing machine for two years, and is as embarrassing as the tortoise of Virgo. However, it turns out that an Apple without Jobs is just a rotten apple, and a series of products such as IPHONE 5S and 5C are just for better proof. At this time, as a senior Apple fan can only admire Jobs' unremitting pursuit and crazy persistence. If you don't have such a friend around you, you might as well go and see Sheldon in "The Big Bang Theory". Maybe the moment he got furry, you hated him to the core, and then, when you look back, you find it cute . Later, I found that those childlike stubbornness is the most deficient in this society, just like pure love.
